Penhill Farm: Pepper Tree
Nestled in the expansive Nuy Valley – just a scenic 75-minute drive from Cape Town – Penhill Farm Estate offers guests a slice of slow Karoo life. With a rich history that goes back to the days of the Dutch East India Company, this fully restored, luxurious country retreat comes with whitewashed buildings, manicured gardens, a sparkling dam, a fine-dining restaurant and five beautiful places to stay.
There’s the stately Manor House (which sleeps eight and overlooks the gardens, with a large swimming pool), and then there are four elegantly appointed two-bedroom cottages – two with private pools (Pepper Tree and Fruit Barn) and all four boasting Swedish hot tubs. Made from mud bricks, poplar beams and thatch, Pepper Tree is the original farm cottage and the oldest dwelling in the Nuy Valley.
Good to know
Each house can be booked separately, or you can book the whole farm for a larger gathering or celebration. There is a tennis court, as well as boules, croquet, fishing and canoeing facilities.
